Catching up with Summer Fun

If you missed my Make it Monday session the end of June - these are the two cards we did. One uses small bits of papers that you probably have sitting on your craft table (the ends were punched with the NEW Triple Banner Punch), along with the NEW Host Stamp Set called "Happy Birthday, Everyone" and it really does have a saying for anyone and everyone. It can be yours by hosting an event for you and your friends to stamp (you can even book my studio so no cleaning up at home required!!) or if you are putting in a large "wish list" order it can be yours too! The card on the right is a real rainbow of colours - a quick and happy card to send to a friend for a birthday. Stamp the same flower from Petite Petals Stamp Set in several colours - or shades of the same colour, punch out with the matching Petite Petals punch, add a bit of background from Gorgeous Grunge and a greeting (from Boys Will Be Boys) and you are done. So easy and fun!!

 

My next Make it Monday session will be September 21st, at 7:00 pm. Starting in September, I am going to try the 3rd Monday of the month to see if that helps some of you who would like to come but had commitments on the last Monday. That will also tie in with my weekend event to unveil the Holiday catalogue (Save the Date - September 17 - 20)  and you can see in person all the fun goodies we are getting to preview now! You will absolutely love some of the new dies, embossing folders and kits - and the paper, and the stamp sets . . . .  so much to love in this new catalogue. Making cards this year for Christmas is going to be FUN!!!

 

Need anything over summer - running out of paper or adhesives?? You can always order on-line and it will ship directly to your home! Super easy and quick too. If you are not in a hurry, I will have an order going in August 13th with my Stamp Club gang and would be happy to add yours to the list!

 

I've got one other card to show you that I made for a swap I'm in - it uses Endless Birthday Wishes - love the fun fonts - and the banner and star punches. I really liked the colour combo when I saw the idea on Pinterest. Happy Stampin'!

 

 

Don't have the NEW Annual Catalogue?? Let me know, it's free with any order!



Make it Monday June 29th - Last one before summer break!!

My "Make it Monday" drop in events are perfect for new stampers, or those who want to add to their card box. I show you how to create quick and easy cards, using basic designs so you can create more at home with your own products. I also try to find ways to help you use up that stash of paper so you can feel good when you want to buy new!

Join me Monday, June 29th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm and make some cards to go into your "I need a card NOW" box!

Here's the quick card we did last month with one stamp set (Kinda Eclectic) - Soft Sky, Pool Party and Island Indigo Inks, a couple of mini pearls and a cut out silver flower that was sitting on my desk for some sparkle!

 

 

And here's the second project we did - mini thank you cards (Lovely Amazing You Stamp Set) in a cute bag to take as a hostess gift - great to have on hand when visiting family and friends this summer - or make some (using some of that paper you have!) so you are ready anytime with a "Thank You" that is sure to make your hosts smile and know you care about them!

 

My last picture is to show you recent cards I made for a swap I am in - each month we exchange cards based on a theme and it is awesome what a variety of cards and stamp sets are used! Such a creative group - love my Stampin' Up! friends :-) The card on the left uses "Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set" - the Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp for 2015-2016 - $3.00 of every set sold goes to our local RMHC on your behalf. The stamp set coordinates with the new Tree Builder Punch making it super easy to get your card done!  The card on the right was stamped with Sweetbriar Rose and coloured with blender pens - a perfect way to "watercolour" without the mess!

Paper Pumpkin kits are better than ever and SO reasonable - take a kit to the cottage, in your trailer when you head out camping or save it as a rainy day project with the kids this summer (if we get some rain!) Here's the latest kit when it arrived - I'm waiting to make it with a friend!  Click on this link to get started yourself!

 



 

Until next time - have fun stampin' and happy summer!
